"I'll see you later tonight, Rolo.''

Rolo sat with his chin propped up on both palms as he scowled at the wall. He'd never been so, upset in his life. Shirely, why'd it have to be her? , Of all the people it could have been, Lelouch chose her...Nothing about that was okay. To Rolo, just the thought of -His- Nii-san being with -Her- was enough to make him wretch, and if that wasn't enough those awful words that Lelouch had spoken made him just want to die.

However, today Lelouch and Shirely were going 'out' as Lelouch explained it to him. Just where, Rolo had no idea. At first he had wanted to follow the two, but better judgement had told him that that would not be a very good idea. Right then however, Rolo could care less whether or not it was a good idea. Just the thought of anything happening between the two of them made him squirm uncomfortably in his seat. It'd be the last thing Rolo would ever allow to happen. So, removing his person out of the chair, Rolo walked out in preparation to follow his niisan to wherever it was he going. No way would he allow anything to happen between the two of them. If he couldn't stop Lelouch from being in love with Shirely then he'd just have to make sure Lelouch fell in love with him. First thing-first though, he had to find Lelouch.

Walking along the sidewalk he carefully begun searching for his Nii-san. This he was aware was going to be hard for him to do. A thought to use the power of his geass to stop eveyone's physical sensation of time presented itself to him, but where exactly would that get him? If he didn't know where Lelouch was then it'd be useless unless-~

''Niisan,''

''Yes Rolo?''

''I...where did you go?''

Rolo questioned this in hopes that his niisan would give away their location, but Rolo had the feeling that Lelouch was much to smart to fall into that kind of trickery.

''Would you ask me this so you could follow me...Rolo?''

Rolo's index finger nervously fingered the heart shaped locket that Lelouch had bought for him, for his birthday. Shaking his head more or less toto himself Rolo spoke;

''N-no niisan! I only wanted to know because I wanted to know when you would be back.''

"I'll be back when I am back Rolo. Don't wait up."

With that Lelouch hung up with his faux brother. Turning he gave Shirely who stared at him with an odd expression a small smile.

"Lulu, is everything alright?"

Shoving his phone in the pocket of his uniform he propped the side of his face on the palm of his hand and simply step he took, Rolo felt as though he were taking aa step further away from Lelouch. It seemed as though it'd been hours that he'd been searching. Yes, he understood that looking had been a pointless task and perhaps maybe he'd only done this because somewhere he'd believed that he'd bump into him or pass the time for when he'd finally came face to face with the brunette.

Unable to walk any further Rolo turned back walking towards their place of vicinity. Once reached the younger brother walked down the hallway until he reached Lelouch's room. Upon opening the door the first thing he noticed was Lelouch's overwhelming sweet scent. The smell filled the young teen's lungs and he knew there was no going back. He loved his Nii-san's scent, it was all it took to have Rolo dazed.

Lying on the older male's bed, Rolo rested quietly continuing to breathe in Lelouch's scent that lingered on the sheets. He couldn't think of anything else besides the brunette. In due time Rolo was for sure he'd see him and what he'd do next? Not even Rolo had been for sure. All he knew was he would be here awake and ready for his Nii-san the second he walk though that doorway.

-Later that night-

The door handle twisted slowly as Lelouch quietly made entry to his bedroom. Darkness welcomed the lanky form and a low voice that held the absolute attention of the intruder in shock.

"Lelouch, where were you?"

Lelouch groped the wall for the light switch quickly flicking it on when he found the switch to reveal none other than Rolo sitting perched on the edge of his bed. Closing the door behind him Lelouch paid him no attention to him as he casually took off his jacket draping it over the back of the chair.

"Tell me Lelouch...''

He could her the pain in Rolo's voice, but this had not phased Lelouch. Not now and not ever.

"Shirely and I went out that is all you need to know."

The words came out nonchalantly that it even was beggining to convince Rolo that it was no big deal, but if Rolo had not known better then he might have given in. However, Rolo knew what Lelouch had told him not long ago and could not brush it aside so easily.

"Lelouch..."

"Do you not have something important to be doing? Say helping Villetta."

Lelouch pulled on his tie as he unbuttoned his shirt. Rolo closely watched him his expression slowly changing, but his indignant demeanour. He hated how Lelouch acted as if he didn't care, he had to know.

"Shirely, why do you like her so much? Is she-"

"Do you really want an answer to that question Rolo?"

Taken aback, Rolo leaned back on the palms of his hands whereas Lelouch was now leaned forards until their noses touched. He swallowed when his Nii-san grabbed a fistful of his school uniform pulling him forwards until their chests collided.

"Tell me Rolo, do you really want to know?" whispered

Lelouch into the younger boy's ear. Rolo had begun to think that Lelouch had been serious, but now he wasn't entirely sure of Lelouch's intentions.

"Niisan..."

Lelouch released the grip he had on Rolo and looked away from Rolo. He could never understand what he felt...Lelouch knew that better than anyone.

"Rolo, I told you already that I am in love with Shirely..."

His words trailed off in Rolo's mind as it began to sink in. Only Rolo couldn't...he couldn't accept it. No, not now, not when he has come so far. He would never let Lelouch fall for Shirely even if it meant he had to do the unthinkable even if...

"...I could never look at you like that..."

Lelouch paused as he felt arms snake around his neck, and his heart pound relentlessly against his chest as Rolo tilted his head...No, he'd never allow Lelouch to fall in love with Shirely no matter what...and gently pressed his lips against his niisan's in a warm gentle caress that he had longed ages , he'd never let Lelouch fall for anyone, even if it meant he'd have to kill Shirely, even if it meant Lelouch would hate him forever.
